Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.
The work Figure Writing Reflected In A Mirror by Francis Bacon was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2015. It achieved a price of GBP 13,750.00 (€ 18,620.77), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 72%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Bacon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Three Studies Of Lucian Freud in November 2013 with an auction result of USD 142,405,000.00 (€ 104,663,383.80).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 72 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Figure Writing Reflected In A Mirror von Francis Bacon kam im September 2015 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 13.750,00 (€ 18.620,77) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 72%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Bacon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Three Studies Of Lucian Freud im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 142.405.000,00 (€ 104.663.383,80).
